Configure LLDP MED TLVs for Transmission on Ports

About this task

Use this procedure to configure organizational-specific TLVs for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) Media Endpoint Devices (MED). LLDP MED TLVs are enabled by default.

Procedure

  1. Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

    interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}

    Note

    Note

    If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.

  2. Disable LLDP MED TLVs for transmission:
    no lldp tx-tlv med {extendedPSE | inventory | location | med-capabilities | network-policy}
  3. Restore LLDP MED TLVs for transmission to their default value:
    default lldp tx-tlv med {extendedPSE | inventory | location | med-capabilities | network-policy}
  4. Verify the configuration:
    show lldp tx-tlv med

Example

Disable LLDP MED TLVs

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#config
Configuring from terminal or network [terminal]? t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#interface gigabitethernet 1/2
Switch:1(config-if)#no lldp tx-tlv med inventory
Switch:1(config-if)#no lldp tx-tlv med location
Switch:1#show lldp tx-tlv med

The default is enabled on POE-capable switches only.

inventory

Specifies the system capabilities MED transmission TLV.

The default is enabled.

location

Specifies the system description MED transmission TLV.

The default is enabled.

med-capabilities

Specifies the system name MED transmission TLV.

The default is enabled.

network-policy

Specifies the network policy MED transmission TLV.

The default is enabled.
